I’m preparing to release Heart of Fire – Time of Ice, my first novel in this specific genre. When I started the writing project, I’d never read anything similar. As usual, being the backward numbskull that I am, I decided to research after I was finished writing. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the genre is quite popular. As a service to you, I spent some time looking up the top fifteen currently highest rated books. Here they are (number of five star reviews included):
- Written in My Own Heart’s Blood: A Novel (Outlander, Book 8) by Diana Gabldon – 9,674 reviews 82% *****
- Outlander: A Novel (Outlander, Book 1) by Diana Gabldon – 15,701 reviews 78% *****
- Waging War (The Immortal Descendants Book 4) by April White – 46 *****
- Warriors (The Reverians Book 3) by Sarah Noffke – 27 *****
- Fracture (The Flicker Effect Book 2) by Melanie Hooyenga – 25 *****
- Cameron Manor: The Meeting and the Magic by Deborah Robillard – 24 *****
- Redemption (The Warrior Series Book 4) by Rebecca Royce – 24 *****
- Rewind by Liz Ann Hawkins – 22 *****
- Justice (The Warrior Series Book 5) by Rebecca Royce – 22 *****
- The Far Journey: A Timeslip Novel of Survival on the Oregon Trail by Tom Reppert – 20 *****
- Virtual Evil (Time Rovers Book 2) by Jana Oliver – 20 *****
- Beneath the Lake by Casi McLean – 19 *****
- The Draig’s Woman by Lisa Dawn Wadler – 17 *****
- A Moment in Connemara: an Irish Love Story by Annie Quinn – 17 *****
- Island by Phyllis A. Stewart – 17 *****
Once I release my story (in a few days) I’d really like to see it in this list (one can dream). My pre-readers have been enthusiastic about the story. One lady even missed work in order to finish, so I’m fairly confident that the story is a good one. I’m looking forward to the launch. Watch this page or my FaceBook page for the exact release date.
Namaste!
